After its seven-month, 314 million mile journey it will land in Mars’ Jezero crater in February 18, 2021, but only after what its scientists call “seven minutes of terror” as the parachute unfurls and then the rover is lowered to the surface of Mars on a tether from its descent stage.
Why can’t we watch those “seven minutes of terror” live on TV? Or get live streaming of Perseverance’s first views of Mars as soon as it opens it eyes?
